TripWorks vs Peek Pro: What Each Publishes and What to Ask
What TripWorks and Peek Pro say about pricing on their own sites, where FareHarbor fits, and what to ask each one.
The GoFish.Rocks Team•October 13, 2026•5 min readComparing booking platforms can feel like comparing fish stories. Everyone’s is the biggest, and nobody brought a scale. So we brought one, and we only put on it what each company says on its own website.
If you searched TripWorks vs Peek Pro, this post is for charter and tour boat owners who want facts, not guesses. We checked each company’s public pages in September 2026. Where a number wasn’t public, we say so and hand you the question to ask. For more head-to-heads, visit our booking software comparisons page.
TripWorks vs Peek Pro: what each one publishes
Here’s the short version. Neither company lists a booking fee amount on the pages we checked. So your real comparison starts with a written quote. Below is what each one says in public, how FareHarbor compares, and the exact questions to send.
TripWorks
According to the TripWorks FAQ page (as of September 2026), it offers a 21-day free trial and discounts for businesses that qualify for its Enterprise Plan. The same page says there are no additional monthly backup fees or per-waiver fees, and no additional fees for its gift card program.
That’s useful, especially if you sell gift cards for the holidays. But it doesn’t tell you the main booking cost. The FAQ does not publish its booking fee.
Peek Pro
According to Peek Pro’s homepage FAQ (as of September 2026), “Peek Pro uses custom, quote-based pricing tailored to your business rather than a fixed monthly plan.” It asks you to request a demo for a quote. The page also lists AI dynamic pricing, automated waitlists, abandoned booking recovery, POS and waivers among its features.
A free trial tells you how the software feels. A written quote tells you what it costs.
FareHarbor vs TripWorks
FareHarbor comes up in a lot of these searches, too. According to a FareHarbor blog post dated August 21, 2024, under its pricing model “the booking fee is transferred to the customer at checkout,” and it describes this as generally “omitting any monthly payment plans or upfront costs.”
FareHarbor does not publish its booking fee percentage on the pages we checked. TripWorks doesn’t publish its booking fee on its FAQ either. So ask both the same question: on a $150 ticket, what does my guest pay, and what do I pay?

If Rezdy is on your list, too, check its pricing page yourself and write down the date. Then ask it the same questions below. Same scale, same fish.
The questions that settle it
We’ve worked with charter and tour boat operators for years. The best buying decisions come from asking every vendor the exact same things, in writing.
Send these to every vendor
Same questions, same ticket price, so the answers line up.
- What is the total booking fee on a $150 ticket, in dollars?
- Who pays it, me or my guest, and can I choose?
- What do I pay on a refund after a weather cancellation?
- What does card processing cost, and can I use my own merchant account?
- How fast do deposits reach my bank?
- Is there a contract, and what does leaving early cost?
Here’s the thing about fees your guest pays: they’re still part of your price. Guests compare totals, not base prices. Generic example: a 6% fee on a $150 ticket adds $9. A flat $1.50 adds $1.50. On a full boat, that gap gets noticed (usually right around the checkout button).
Fit questions for boats
Fees are one half. Fit is the other. A boat day has moments a museum ticket never sees. In any TripWorks vs Peek Pro demo, ask each rep to show you these with your own trips:
- A mixed calendar. Private charters, open-party seats and walk-ups on the same boat, with no double booking.
- The dawn cancel. One message to every guest on the trip, plus what a refund costs you.
- The dock list. A passenger manifest with a live headcount your crew can pull up fast.
- The sellout. How a canceled seat gets filled from the waitlist.
For comparison, you can see how GoFish.Rocks handles each of these on our booking and scheduling page.
